We are so excited about the Apex Fun Run event that will be at our school for the next two weeks! Apex Fun Run is an interactive leadership program that helps schools all over the country raise money, while promoting leadership, good character and fitness. Our students will raise pledges for the Fun Run scheduled for Friday, October 19.
This year’s character theme is Apex STRONG! Students will join the Apex Team on an exciting journey as they learn what it truly means to be strong as a team.

All students are included! All students will receive Apex wrist bands, an Apex t-shirt, and team awards. All students will experience Apex Fun Run’s world class character program and have access to character lessons.
During the Apex Fun Run program, students are challenged to get pledges for the laps they will run on Fun Run Day to help our school. Students will run for 30 minutes and will run an average of 26-36 laps around the Apex Raceway. The maximum number of laps is 36 and each lap is 1/16th of a mile. Through Apex’s top-notch online pledge system, sponsors can pledge $1/lap, $2/lap, $5/lap or any other amount for students and can pledge from anywhere in the world!
The majority of the funds raised this year will go to our School Garden! In addition, Mission PTA has allocated that 10% of our earnings will be divided among all Mission teachers to use in their own classroom.
Mission PTA is seeking volunteers for the Apex Fun Run on Friday, October 19th! We need a few parents to mark laps and pass out water at this fun-filled event. The times we will need the help are from:
- 9:00 to 10:00 am for K-3rd volunteers (check-in at volunteer table at 8:45)
- 10:30 to 11:30 am for 4th-6th volunteers (check-in at volunteer table at 10:15)
If you are interested in volunteering during the Fun Run please email apex@missionpta.org and secretary@missionpta.org. We will add you to our list and send follow-up emails. Thank you for being a part of Mission Magic!
